My Thoughts

I liked ARTEMIS for the most part. I thought it was interesting and it makes me want to read THE MARTIAN, which I was on the fence about before. I liked the main character for the most part, but she read more like a teenage boy than a 23-year-old woman. Despite sounding more like a teenage boy, I liked her sassiness and don’t-take-shit-from-anyone attitude. The story kept my interest as I really wanted to know what was going on, who was behind everything, and what would happen in the end. I even made some guesses as to who the bad guy was. I was way off.

My Thoughts

I wasn’t really sure I wanted to read THE SUGAR QUEEN at first. To be honest, I was worried it would make me crave sugary treats and I don’t need that in my life. Fortunately, it didn’t do that and I ended up really liking the story. The characters were fun to read about and I loved the magical realism. I’ll definitely give this author another try.
